Asshole Companies

We deal with so many companies. Many of which we have no choice. Electric Company, Cable Company, Phone Company, Insurance Company and all the other companies. Some Campanies can be assholes for the policies they have or the way the do business!

To apply, the candidate needs to fill a form online on Ricoh’s website and upload his/her CV.

There was even a recruiter contact displayed on the job description:

“Ms. Sonja Schweizer (+41 (0)43 205 20 55) is available to answer your questions”. I should have called before but as my profile matched almost perfectly the job offer, I applied without calling first.

What a mistake. Just few days later I received a refusal letter from the generic email address:
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
informing me that my profile didn’t match their requirements.

The person who signed this email was the same appearing on the job advert:Sonja Schweizer (+41 (0)43 205 20 55). But strangely enough, she wrote using a generic email, not one under her name.

As the response I received after applying was so quick (2 working days) and as my profile was quite matching the job description, I smelled a rat.I also would like to mention that the job advert and the role were both in English and deemed as “international”, but that the negative reply I received was in German…

I then checked on Sonja Schweizer, the recruiter, supposedly working for Ricoh. I found out that this person is not working for Ricoh but for a firm called “Integralis AG”( http://www.integralis-ag.ch ). This firm seems to be a recruiting firm.

Nowhere on Ricoh’s website or in the job description was mention that Ricoh was using the service of this company to recruit. Worst of all, candidate have to upload their CV through Ricoh’s website but the CV are sent to this external firm.

To top it all, Sonja Schweizer, the employee of Integralis uses a Ricoh’s email address to reply to applicants,
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
, adding to the overall deception scheme.

Realising that the jobs advertised on Ricoh’s website are most likely fake and that the only goal is to collect personal data and CV by the firm Integralis, I wrote to them asking them to remove all my data from their records.

As a Swiss firm, privacy rules are normally tighter than in countries like the US.

As of now I am still waiting for an answer.

So, be careful of Ricoh Switzerland posting doubtful jobs on their website for the benefits of crooks collecting personal data and CV, Integralis AG.

i recently inquired about carrying Star Roses in my Garden Center. I was assigned Bradd Yoder for my sales representative. I spoke with Bradd in the phone and arranged a meeting. Bradd was over a half hour late with no excuse or explanation or apology. Upon meeting Bradd he Appeared to be more interested in answering Text messages on his cell phone. He was very distracted during the entire meeting. He was very forceful in his sales. He came accross like a typical used car salesmen. He knew his products however seemed annoyed by my questions regarding the roses. He was very rude about my other suppliers. There was no need to talk trash about other suppliers. I found it very rude and it really showed his arrogance. He knew my suppliers salesman and just like bashing the products he was bashing my salesman. Rather then promoting his products he was to busy talking trash on other suppliers. He was also talking down to me as if I was a incompetent although I have 32 years experience. At one point I was finally fed up and asked him who he thought he was. He proceeded to tell me he was having a terrible day and had personal issues. I told him I understood but I did not appreciate his demeanor. He got angry and said thank you for wasting my time have a wonder day. I have never came accross a salesman like Bradd. I will never do business with Star Roses or Conyrd Pyle because of this man. Very unprofessional. He really needs some serious training on customer relations.

I usually don't post here but this one hit home...F-Walmart..............

posting for a friend

Just came from Wal Mart in Abington, MASS. One of my nephes was having a hard time (as most of you know my nephews have Autism) He was on the floor not having such a great time to say the least. When the store manager came over, he was told he is ok he has autism the manager continued to stare, we asked him to keep walking. He did not, we asked him several times to keep walking he went out of sight talked to another CUSTOMER about my nephew and called another manager over and called the Abington EMT'S. We confronted the other manager and he told me he needed to respond to all insedences. Even after i tried to explain he continued to just stare. The EMT just asked if everything was ok we told him about the autism that everything was ok and he left. The store managers just hovered over us that only brought more people over to make the situation worse they made a sideshow out of my nephews misfortune. We finally got Joseph out and into the car. Needless to say I wont be a walmart shopper any more. The Manager did not care about Joseph and did not want to listen about Joseph be autistic he was worried he might lose his job. Please post on WalMart's website your disappointment because Ronnie and Carrie did and Walmart keeps taking the post down!!!!
